Communication is essential for students to be successful. An effective education takes place where there are strong partnerships between parents/guardians and the child’s class teacher(s). This section was designed to provide families with a centralized spot for important and general information and resources. We encourage parents/guardians to get involved, volunteer, visit the school and ask questions.

At Ogden School District, we aim to develop our students intellectually in a happy and stimulating environment where they will experience a well balanced, but rigorous, academic program. Firm foundations established in K-12, prepare students for the future, and OSD is focused on studies that center on guiding questions that open up and develop thinking skills, subject knowledge, concepts and ideas while allowing each student to progress their potential at their own pace.

The Ogden City School District develops and maintains equitable and competitive athletic programs. All stakeholders strive for excellence in the classroom and athletics while promoting leadership, citizenship, accountability, sportsmanship and a positive environment

At Ogden School District, students are the center of everything we do! With the support of our school community, the dedication of our school staff and the assistance of many volunteers, we continue to demonstrate excellence in student learning and achievement at all levels. We encourage you to explore our website, attend our student performances, events and competitions, or visit one of our schools.

About Us

PRINCIPAL MESSAGE

Welcome to Ben Lomond High School! We hope our students and families have enjoyed their time away from school this summer and are ready to come back and take advantage of everything the great BEN LOMOND HIGH SCHOOL has to offer.

Teachers, counselors, secretaries, and supporting staff have also enjoyed some much needed rest, but have been very busy learning, attending conferences and workshops, reading and preparing so they can continue to provide our students with the greatest education and opportunities of any high school in the state.

As the new principal, I am excited to carry on with the outstanding traditions of BEN LOMOND HIGH SCHOOL, and I look forward to strengthening our students’ experiences while at BL. We will continue working toward our transition to Standards Based Grading. This a very powerful practice which creates an atmosphere that is 100% focused on student learning.

Before coming to BEN LOMOND, I enjoyed working at Mound Fort Middle School as a first year teacher. Opportunities then took me to the Davis School District where I enjoyed my time as a psychology teacher and coach at Clearfield High, an assistant principal at North Davis Jr. High, Woods Cross High, Northridge High, and then the principal of North Davis Jr. High. I’m confident these experiences will help enhance all of the great things we are doing at BEN LOMOND HIGH SCHOOL as we plan for the future.

It is my promise to all parents that their students are safe and learning while at school. When students leave BEN LOMOND HIGH SCHOOL, they will be college, career and community ready. In order to do this, I will (1) Articulate and communicate my vision for learning to the faculty and all stakeholders at BEN LOMOND. (2) Create a culture that has high expectations for both the faculty and students. (3) Provide the necessary professional development to support teachers. (4) Create a systematic approach that ensures learning for ALL students within the school. (5) Allocate and manage school funds and resources to support student learning and teachers’ collaborative efforts.

Sincerely,

Steve Poll
Principal

GO SCOTS!

BEN LOMOND HISTORY

Ben Lomond High School, originally constructed in 1952, was named for the Ben Lomond Peak, so called by the Scottish settlers who were reminded of the Ben Lomond in Scotland, because it stands outs along the Wasatch Front.

The local cultural influence gave the school its theme, including bagpipers, Royal Stewart tartan and Scots. Students are known as "Friendly Fighting Scots."

Ben Lomond High School was rebuilt, other than the gymnasium, from the District's 2006 bond. Construction began in June 2007 and was fully complete in August 2010. Ben Lomond and the District were recognized for the renovations and were awarded the Mountain States Construction Silver Award for grades K-12 in 2010.

School Hymn

From the green Scottish hills where the proud pipers play. From the Great Salt Lake to the Wasatch. There is no better clan, nor will there ever be; than the Friendly Fighting Scots of Ben Lomond. We're proud of Ben Lomond and all that she stands for, and over the world we may wander. A part of our hearts will always yearn to be in the memoried hallowed halls of Ben Lomond.
